have 04 tdi. ran fine till road hazard lost oil pan and turbo went out. new turbo. engine lite keeps coming on and dealer has new problems and $$ for repairs. when i refused lite went out and the on and new items all not related to turbo. 1 month after new turbo: $660 for thermostat and coolant temp sensor. refused. 2 mos later: glow bulbs, recall engine valve sensor: $800+. Is this for real or is there an electrical gremlin? ---

Why are you taking it to the dealer, unless it is under warranty? ``` I suggest you take your question to TDIClub.com. You will find everything TDI there. ``` Your report indicates you need to avoid that dealer whenever possible. ---

took it to 2 other places and engine code they got was p0299- turbo underboost and was told to take to dealer as it is related to warranty of turbo dealer replaced. i don’t know of a qualified mechanic willing to touch the car, other than the dealer in my town.
